Meet The More Slalom Oriented Design of Sails

Free

Freeride

The FREE 04 has been completely redesigned too. Compared to the MOVE the design is more slalom oriented, with a lower foot configuration, with one batten. The battens are 6 in total and 3 of them are carbon tubes. The construction is optimizing the weight with the center body panels using lighter 125 micron Monofilm, while leech and boom and base areas are of more stable 175 micron monofilm. The clew and foot areas are of X-Ply. The luff panel is of Dacron with double and triple reinforcements in the areas of major stress. The mastsleeve is of a new light and strong fabric, and is designed in one single piece with a resulting perfect alignement of the fibers along the entire length, and weak points like joining seams are completely eliminated. Also in a high performance sail like the FREE we looked for user friendliness. It is very easy to trim and always has a super soft batten rotation. The FREE planes very early and accelerates immediately to very high speeds, with a great stability of the whole profile. It best suits freeride and slalom boards, and the bigger sizes work perfectly with the Formula and Freeformula boards of the last generation. The 8,0 is an interesting size working with both a 460 mast, that delivers more speed and a more slippery feeling for smaller boards, and a 490 mast, which delivers more power for bigger boards or sailors. To obtain the highest performances we recommend a higher carbon content mast as the YES PERFORMANCE 75 or 100, but also the 55 will deliver very good performances.
